orchid identification help

10 years ago

Got this guy a few days ago on the discount rack for $4. I normally am very good at picking out the type of orchid but this guy has me in a stump. I'm stuck between two different types. So I was wanting to get another person opinion on what they think this guy might be.

It is probably a Dendrobium. Thousands of species and about 100,000 registered hybrids make ids very difficult. Is there anything written on the white tag?

Thanks for the response! I was the one who put the tag there. It just has the date I got the plant and the date I re-potted it. I was thinking it was Dendrobium, but I wasn't 100% as this one looks different from the other 4 kinds of Dendrobiums I have.
